| Coffee and tea may contribute to a healthy liver Posted: 16 Aug 2013 12:30 PM PDT Scientists suggest that increased caffeine intake may reduce fatty liver in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.  |
| Posted: 16 Aug 2013 10:04 AM PDT Patients with an aggressive lymphoma that often relapses and kills within two years experienced a remission of their cancer and stayed disease-free as long as 28 months after taking a commercially-available drug that made chemotherapy more effective.  |
| How DNA repair helps prevent cancer Posted: 16 Aug 2013 10:03 AM PDT DNA damage is a natural biological occurrence that happens every time cells divide and multiply; thus, DNA repair is important for preserving the composition of the genome. Researchers are using supercomputers to study the molecular-level dynamics involved in this process.  |
| Autistic kids who best peers at math show different brain organization Posted: 16 Aug 2013 10:03 AM PDT Children with autism and average IQs consistently demonstrated superior math skills compared with nonautistic children in the same IQ range, according to a new study.  |
| Drug dosing for older heart patients should differ Posted: 16 Aug 2013 09:53 AM PDT Older heart patients present unique challenges for determining the optimal dosages of medications, so a new study offers some rare clarity about the use of drugs that are used to treat patients with heart attacks.  |
| Tumors form advance teams to ready lungs for spread of cancer Posted: 16 Aug 2013 09:53 AM PDT An advance team of molecules produced by the primary tumor sets off a series of events that create a network of nurturing blood vessels for arriving primary tumor cells to set up shop.  |
| Preferred play for children with autism Posted: 16 Aug 2013 09:53 AM PDT Play preferences of children with autism spectrum disorder were observed in a community-based museum designed to enable children to choose their preferred play activity. In this naturalistic setting, children with ASD preferred play options with a strong sensory component.  |
| Molecular explanation for degenerative disease proposed Posted: 16 Aug 2013 06:46 AM PDT Scientists have shed new light on the origins and molecular causes of age related degenerative conditions including motor neuron disease. The new perspective provided by this work may lead the way to new treatments and early diagnoses.  |
| Soft drinks linked to behavioral problems in young children Posted: 16 Aug 2013 06:46 AM PDT Americans buy more soft drinks per capita than people in any other country. These drinks are consumed by individuals of all ages, including very young children. Although soft drink consumption is associated with aggression, depression, and suicidal thoughts in adolescents, the relationship had not been evaluated in younger children. A new study finds that aggression, attention problems, and withdrawal behavior are all associated with soft drink consumption in young children.  |
| New biomarker could reveal Alzheimer's disease years before onset Posted: 14 Aug 2013 07:14 AM PDT What causes Alzheimer's disease is unclear. This study reports on what may be the earliest known biomarker associated with the risk of developing AD. Furthermore, it provides clues into its cause, lending support to a less prominent theory that's earning support in recent years.  |
